Jonathon Lewis has spent his career organizing folks from marginalized communities to demand a greater voice in policy making. From working on the Obama campaign in Ohio to advocating for teachers and educational equality in his home state of Texas, Jonathon is now the National Training Director for CSSJ, where he works to provide survivors leaders with the tools to build a new movement of safety, justice, and healing. In this conversation, Jonathon talks about the lessons he's learned in his career as an organizer, what it's like to bring survivors to the capitol to speak with legislators for the first time, and the launch of CSSJ's brand new Leadership Academy, which will provide formal training for survivors who want to take their stories to legislators and the media, and help train other survivors back in their local chapters and communities. For anyone who wants to learn how to build healing through action, this episode is not to be missed.
